I know what I'm doing 99% of the time and registry cleaners have caused problems for me in the past. I'll never bother with them again except maybe as a last resort before giving up and just doing a clean install. I will never under any circumstances recommend them to someone else, if I'm not confident something will work for me there's no chance I'll recommend it to someone else, especially someone who needs help with something as basic as uninstalling drivers.

Every time I try to go where I really wanna be it's already where I am, 'cuz I'm already thereXBL, PSN, Steam, Origin, BSN, GFAQs, MC: PhilOnDez

I couldn't find any Nvidia listed in add/remove programs. Looks like Windows installed the Nvidia drivers as an update. I simply uninstalled the drivers from Device Manager, shut down, swapped out to the AMD card, booted and installed the AMD drivers and I was good to go. No registry or driver sweeper needed this time. I tested it out with benchmark software and a game and so far so good.

Have used driver sweeper several times to remove graphics drivers and sound drivers for me and my friends. Had no issue whatsoever. You can take the long way and delete the entries yourself in the registry, but why take the extra time to do so if you can do it with a few clicks?

Ie. you have no ground to stand on, and these two people who supposedly had their system messed up are novice/inexperienced users that barely know how to use a computer. I have used the program countless times with zero problems - that is not to say it can't cause issues, but it is a far better/safer solution for someone who doesn't know their way around the registry, and anybody with a lick of technical sense/knowledge will tell you that.
